In i've years there have been many
notable changes in the Garfield family.

Williams College. James r Garfield
has been studying law with Judge
Boynton in Cleveland, and i looked

Abram and Irwin-thc latter named
for General Irwin Mcdowell old
enough to enter a school on the Hud-
son, and left home for their duties
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before.
Since the preliminary education Of
Abram and Irwin IN the Cleveland
public schools the mother has had no
further desire to live in . city. She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her
future home in Mentor. She has here
added to the modest frame house Of
her husband q Queen Anne structure

which Garfield did not know in his own

the country it has all the conveniences
of . city home-in plumbing. gas-fit-
